NC State Fair - Got to Be NC Wine and Craft Beer Exhibit

Come and see us in the South Dorton Arena Lobby just across from the State Fair SkyGazer Ferris Wheel!

The NC Public House will showcase dozens of breweries, wineries, cideries, and craft soda makers from across North Carolina. Daily offerings will include several different styles of craft beer, wine, cider, and soda, including award-winning examples of each.

Patrons of the NC Public House will be able to purchase a Beer+Wine ticket which provides for your choice of two servings of wine, cider or beer. Wine servings are 3 ounces each, and beer or cider servings are 8 ounces each. Tickets may be purchased in advance, or during the fair at the entrance of the NC Public House. Beer+Wine tickets will be $10 each, and tickets for craft sodas may be purchased on-site for $5 each. There is a limit of one Beer+Wine ticket per person (= 2 servings), per visit to the NC Public House.

This popular attraction is a partnership with the N.C. Craft Brewers Guild and the N.C. Wine and Grape Council. The Guild will use a portion of the proceeds for research and marketing benefiting North Carolina’s craft beer industry. North Carolina is home to 350+ craft breweries and 185 wineries.

Join us at the NC Public House on Friday, October 14th, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., for NC Beer Night at the Fair! Along with pouring an exciting array of beers from NC craft breweries, we will have several brewing education opportunities for our guests. Have you ever wondered more about how beer is made?

Come and talk with our panel of brewers during the "Ask a Brewer" question and answer session. Also, we'll host representatives from Wake Tech's brewing education program, Raleigh's local homebrew club CARBOY, and have a brewing equipment demonstration provided by Atlantic Brew Supply. Don't miss this fun and informative event taking place at the NC Public House!
